Windows 7: BSOD - ntoskrnl.exe IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL

I'm getting pretty frequent BSODs lately when playing online games. I've been getting random ones for the past few months, but now it's almost every night playing Borderlands (the first one). I ran BlueScreenView and last night the BSOD was caused by my Realtek LAN driver. I updated that hoping it would fix the issue, but tonight I got another one that only had ntoskrnl.exe listed. So I ran MemTestx86+ for an hour or so to check the RAM and no errors reported.

Oh, I just remembered that I did run DriverVerify on that Realtek LAN driver so that may have been the cause for the BSOD tonight (I forgot it was still running). But I updated the driver to the latest one from the Gigabyte website so I don't know why it wouldn't be verified.

I'm not sure what else to do so maybe you guys can help me figure this out! Thanks!
